Luis Hernandez kept his momentum going earlier tonight (Sat., Sept. 26, 2026) at UFC Vegas 121 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the recent Contender Series standout stepped up on short notice to demolish Sedriques Dumas with a guillotine choke finish just 57 seconds into the first round.
This was one of the most intriquing matchups on Saturday’s card for more than one reason. Not only did Hernandez blow the roof off of the Meta Apex with his recent Contender Series win, but the Miami police officer was going up against Dumas, who is a convicted felon with a storied past of arrests. It was a classic cop vs. convict matchup and one that everyone wanted to see play out.
Unfortunately for Dumas, the law won again. It took Hernandez just a few seconds to land a clean punch that put him on wobbly legs. Hernandez followed that up with some clinch work along the cage and eventually found a window of opportunity for a standing guillotine choke. He locked it up and cranked until Dumas tapped. It was sensational.
